California RV Show Awards Grand Prize Winner

The Recreation Vehicle Industry Association’s (RVIA) California RV Show has awarded Darryl and Joy Bess of Temecula, Calif., a 22-foot Lance toy hauler travel trailer — the grand prize in the show’s sweepstakes at the October show in Pomona. The trailer, valued at approximately $35,000, was presented at Lance Camper Manufacturing Corp. headquarters in Lancaster, Calif., on Jan. 22.

Bess and his family are familiar with RVing having owned several RVs in the past, including a Lance truck camper. They attended the California RV Show to specifically look at Lance products and were thrilled to win the toy hauler. Bess said the family already has plans to camp in Glamis, Calif., the first weekend in February in their new RV. The 2014 California RV Show will be held at the Fairplex in Pomona from Oct. 10-19.
